How many power moons are there?

Question

Excluding the infinite amount of moons you can buy in the postgame, how many power moons are there to find?

You can buy an infinite number of power moons? What's your source on this? — BlueBarren, Oct 30 '17 at 12:58

According to the Prima Guide:

Cap Kingdom: 31 moons
Cascade Kingdom: 40
Sand Kingdom: 89
Lake Kingdom: 42
Wooded Kingdom: 76
Cloud Kingdom: 9
Lost Kingdom: 35
Metro Kingdom: 81
Snow Kingdom: 55
Seaside Kingdom: 71
Luncheon Kingdom: 68
Ruined Kingdom: 10
Bowser's Kingdom: 62
Moon Kingdom: 38
Mushroom Kingdom: 43 (becomes 104 for achievements)
Dark Side: 24
Darker Side: 1

The above adds up to 836.

NB: Multi-moons count as a single moon in these numbers, because it is based on the row in the map's list, which marks multi-moons as a single row with a "3" beside it.

That only adds up to 728. – Pyritie Oct 30 '17 at 11:20
@Pyritie Flicked through again, found some later sections I'd missed, hopefully it seems more within bounds of adding up :) – Margaret Oct 30 '17 at 11:27
That adds up to 813. It's odd that it's not a more round number, but at least it's over 800 now. Could you include that total in your answer? – Pyritie Oct 30 '17 at 11:32
@Pyritie Done :) – Margaret Oct 30 '17 at 11:34
Thanks. I'll leave the question open for a bit in case this answer's missing anything but this looks good otherwise! – Pyritie Oct 30 '17 at 11:36

This site says 836. They also state that after considering the ones in shops, it's over 900. Are you sure? – Timmy Jim Oct 30 '17 at 11:37
@TimmyJim this count says to exclude the shop-bought ones. – Seiyria Oct 30 '17 at 12:33
@Seiyria I see that now - but still. – Timmy Jim Oct 30 '17 at 15:11

Do these numbers count the multi-moons as 1 or 3 moons? – Question Marks Oct 30 '17 at 15:50

@QuestionMarks I believe they would be one, because it's counting by number from the list viewable from the map and the list shows multi moons as one row with a "3" beside it – Margaret Oct 30 '17 at 19:10
@TimmyJim Which might account for the discrepancy you're seeing, too, though I can't guarantee it – Margaret Oct 30 '17 at 19:13

@QuestionMarks: The number on the right of the list in general is how many moons a given item produced (if more than 1). Multi-moons will list a 3. But eventually when you're able to buy the moons, it will be counted in the corresponding shop's list. – Jeff Mercado Oct 30 '17 at 20:30

One discrepancy is that you list 54 for Wooded Kingdom, yet in the link @TimmyJim posted, it says there's 76 available after bowser is defeated. – Pyritie Oct 31 '17 at 10:10

Isn’t there one for the darker side? – Stevoisiak Nov 06 '17 at 22:42

@StevenVascellaro there is a single moon, well, a single multi-moon. – Jeff Mercado Nov 07 '17 at 06:41

Let's get more specific. There are far more moons available in many levels since there are multi-moons (counts as 3 power moons). Also most kingdoms have Crazy Cap stores so you can potentially get many more in that world. Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Mushroom Kingdom + Crazy Cap Store

836         559         22x3=66     255         +880

That brings it down to a grand total of 836 listed moons, and counting multi-moons, 880 power moons found in the world. Then if you want to get the max of 999, you'll need to buy at least 119 additional moons from Crazy Cap Stores.
